Excellent character studies in this thriller. I need to re-read to catch all the nuances.

I read this one with the Killer Thriller Crew bookclub. I loved the writing style and enjoyed the story itself. The characters were so unlikeable.. basically all of them except for Coop and Caro for the most part. I think this is an unpopular opinion but I wasn't crazy about the setting.. it was my first storyline based at a university/college and I just found it kind of stereotypical and flat. But it really didn't change my feelings on the book. It was dark and kept me guessing. I liked seeing the story through the eyes of each character and getting a feel for their part in the whole thing.

I will 100% be picking up another Ashley Winstead book.

Cheesy, predictable. Was expecting  a Gone Girl esc thriller, got a YA love triangle instead. Also there’s no knife in this story??

Sociopaths who peaked in college have their secrets exposed at reunion.

Super fun and interesting read. I’m not a mystery/thriller type girl because I tend to lose interest, but this was well paced and really engaging. I want it to be a movie tbh.
